Envelopes

Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and print- quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.

Envelopes can be fed from manual feed slot one at a time. We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want before you print or purchase a large quantity of envelopes.
